Having made a name for himself on Radio Luxembourg, 21 year-old Noel Edmonds took over the BBC Radio 1 Saturday Morning Show from the legendary Kenny Everett in 1969. Four years later, he inherited the weekday breakfast slot from Tony Blackburn.

Edmonds moved into television, initially as a presenter of Top Of The Pops and more recently as a quiz-show host.
